Usually, wobbly with dehydration. Lung worm gives very noisy breathing.

I once looked after a hedgepig that came in wobbling around, seemed to recover and was eating etc so I took it home but after 24 hours it seemed to relapse and unfortunately died :(

I'm sure u did what u could, they can be very tricky

Thanks everyone for your help. The little hedgie died overnight. He had been found wobbling. His breathing became a bit noisy right before he died. Thanks again though.

I have seen a couple of hedgepigs with this over the years one made it one didnt , sound very similar to yours (the one that died was confirmed alphachloralose on pm )

This one sounds a bit similar too

has it always done tht or has it just been recently it started? it isnt that wobblers syndrome that they can get maybe is it? my sisters african pygmy hedgehog was pts only a few months back becasue of this. it went from being a bit wobbly to not able to walk stand or walk at all in the space of 48hrs.This is just a suggestion as i know nothing about them really.
